rooster59 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Bangkok removes Covid-19 checkpoints for travellers from other provinces By THE NATION (File Photo) Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has removed from 4pm on Friday 14 checkpoints that had been set up for visitors from other provinces entering Bangkok, as the Covid-19 situation in the province is improving. The checkpoints had been set up on January 2 on the routes that connected Bangkok to other provinces in a bid to curb the spread of Covid-19. Travellers passing through the checkpoints were screened for Covid-19. “Although the checkpoints have been removed, district officials must continue to monitor venues that have high risk of virus spreading in their responsible areas,” BMA deputy governor Pol Lt-General Sophon Phisutthiwong said. “If any businesses fail to comply with the authority’s measures, the district office must work with police to pursue legal action immediately.” BMA also has urged all districts to enforce preventive measures during Chinese New Year festival that will start on February 12. “All districts must actively advise people to maintain social distancing practices, wear face masks in public places, wash their hands regularly, and check-in and check-out using the Thai Chana platform when shopping for spirit offerings or paying respect at shrines during the festival,” added Sophon.

superal Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 What is the true extent of covid19 in BK ? I see no daily reports or updates . No bars open OK but why on earth have they banned having a wine or beer with your meal in your hotel ? Wine with good food go together as they both compliment each other . The Thai government need to wake up and understand the meaning of fine dining . I think they believe we will all go on benders . It seems they want to ban alcohol at every opportunity . In fact do us all a favour and make Thailand a dry country so at least we know where we stand . Won't be many of us staying here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These protesters are the only people who can help Thailands future, and save them from future soldier "governments". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
